1. Mmmmm...that may be equivalent to a felony.

He should have been stopped from purchase.

I’m smelling this church may have had contact with his wife.

4. His in-laws were members

I'm thinking this was a custody issue...and he was being denied.

6. Have they confirmed if they were victims or not nt

10. Not to my knowledge.

At one time I attended a church very much like this in rural Texas....people didn't miss very often.
But that is just speculation.

2. Misdemeanor domestic violence is the equivalent of a felony as far as the US govt is concerned

Banned from guns for life

8. Yup, both misdemeanor and felony domestic violence convictions end gun ownership rights.

The translation of his UCMJ conviction would have been either one of the above. Either an error at the government end or someone sold him the gun without a background check.

3. Speculation

I'm completely speculating here. But this might be yet another case of freely available high-powered weapons turning a domestic abuser into a mass murderer.

5. Sadly, I was expecting to hear this.

Not surprised.

7. I feel that the military is partially responsible

Teach someone to kill, they kill

9. I feel gender is more to blame.

Look at the numbers of killers in the military and not in the military. It is a male gender issue. Period!

11. Have to disagree...assault rifle and a scope will do that

no military training needed..
